>
> Byte array comparison is heavily used in joins and string conditions. Pure
> Java implementation is simple but not performant. An implementation with
> Unsafe#getLong is much faster. It's already implemented in
> org.apache.hadoop.io.WritableComparator#compare. The WritableComparator class
> handles exceptional cases, including a different endian and no access to
> Unsafe, and it was used for many years in production.
> This patch will replace pure Java byte array comparisons with safe and faster
> unsafe ones to get more performance.
